I need to get a filter and try some sun shots. Last time I was shooting a sunrise with the sun still up, I managed to do some serious damage to my right eye. Didn't even realise as the sun was not harsh to veiw with my eyes, just after about 10minutes of shooting the sunset, I lost all colour recognition in my right camera eye for an hour, only seeing shades of orange. Scary / stupid stuff, won't do that again.

I love phenominum like your shots, great work!!

Thank you, Mitchell! To be honest, I really donno if I deserve that much appreciation. Becoz, I shot that with a normal digital camera (Canon) with just my spectacles (corrective lenses for short sight) and a coolers on top of that. I couldn't see the sun for more than few secs. So the pics that I've posted are taken just with the camera facing the sun. Just tried to adjust the camera accordingly. (just like how we try to take a pic of ourselves!). Anyways thanks a lot for your appreciation. My eyes too started watering quite a lot while looking at sun directly! How stupid! As you said we should try with sun filters.
